-One person is dead after the truck they were driving was involved in a crash on Spencer Road by CTH O in the Township of Eaton.The Clark County Sheriff’s Office received a call of the crash at about 7:56 pm, on Saturday July 7th, 2018. Initial investigation indicates a pickup truck, being driven by Michael J. Jones 50 years old, was eastbound on Spencer Road, east of CTH O, when he lost control and entered the north ditch. The pickup truck rolled several times, ejected Michael, and came to rest on its driver’s side facing west. Michael was found unresponsive underneath the truck. Michael was pronounced dead at the scene by Coroner Schleifer. Traveling too fast for conditions and failing to have control appear to be factors in the accident. Michael was not wearing a seatbelt.
The Greenwood Area Fire Department and Ambulance Service responded to the scene with the Clark County Sheriff’s Office and Coroner Schleifer. The investigation is continuing by the Clark County Sheriff’s and Coroner’s Office. This is the 4th traffic fatality in Clark County for 2018.
